- The last and only time Bangladesh met Afghanistan in a men’s Test was in September 2019 in Chattogram, with the Afghans reigning victorious by 224 runs; Rashid Khan led the way for the visitors with 11 wickets (5/55 and 6/49) and a half century in the first innings (51).
- Bangladesh have won just one of their last 10 men’s Tests (D1 L8), however, their only win came in their most recent fixture in the format, a seven-wicket win against Ireland in April this year.
- Afghanistan have played six men’s Tests overall, winning 50% of their games in the format (P6 W3 L3), the highest win rate of any team; they won their most recent game in the format – a six-wicket win against Zimbabwe – becoming the fastest Asian side to three wins in men’s Tests (previously Pakistan – 15 games).
- Bangladesh are yet to win a men’s Test match at home against Asian opponents, having already played 29 such games (D6 L23); 10 of these were played at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka, with all of them resulting in losses for the hosts.
- Bangladesh have a catch success rate of 66% in men’s Test matches since the start of 2022, the lowest such rate of any team (min. 5 games played); the Bangla Tigers dropped 37 of 110 chances in the format in this period.
- Bangladesh bowlers conceded a strong connection rate of just 5.9% from opposition batters in men’s Tests since the start of 2022, the second best such rate of any team (Australia – 5.8%).
- Mushfiqur Rahim (36) is one away from becoming the Bangladesh batter with the outright second most scores of 50+ in men’s Tests (Tamim Iqbal – 41, Shakib Al Hasan – 36); Rahim has scored a ton and a half-century in his last two innings in the format.
- Afghanistan’s Hashmatullah Shahidi has a batting average of 58.8 in men’s Tests, the third highest of any player from an Asian country (min. 10 innings batted).
- Mehidy Hasan Miraz (148) is two away from becoming the third Bangladesh bowler to reach 150 wickets in men’s Tests after Shakib Al Hasan and Taijul Islam; if he manages the feat in his next game (39*), Hasan Miraz will become the second fastest bowler from his country to do so (Taijul Islam – 36 games).
- Mominul Haque (37) is one catch away from becoming the Bangladesh fielder (non-wicketkeeper) with the joint-most catches in men’s Tests (38 – Mahmadullah); Mominul has taken at least one catch in each of his last two games in the format.
